I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled blogging once the Ladyfest craft sale is over tomorrow.  It’s my last show of the season and I’ve been busy getting last minute holiday items ready for the show on Saturday.  Then it’s time to start putting up some decorations at home. The stockings that I ordered from Etsy are waiting for me at the post office and we have two bundles of red twigs just waiting to be fussed over.

I’ve also been posting some new recipes over at boyfriendlycooking.com.  Because there’s always time to cook.

Don’t forget.  Ladyfest craft sale!  Tomorrow!  Jack Purcell Centre from 10am – 5pm.

Ok Aussie readers – you can officially point and laugh now.  Winter has arrived.

I knew something was up when I woke up and could hear the sound of rainy-wet tires on the pavement.  It sounded strange – it sounded slushier.  I thought it could be snow, but chose to ignore this feeling by hibernating under the duvet and scowling about walking to work in the rain.  Then I got up and saw this…

This blog has been quiet for a few weeks – mostly due to upcoming craft shows: Cherry Pie just finished, Sandy Hill “One and Only” show on the 25th and finally Ladyfest on December 1.  My home office has been turned upside down with paper, tags, tape, bookboard and ribbons.  Now that I’m stocked and ready for these shows I can begin to relax and focus on real life.

I decided that my husband and I needed some Christmas stockings and when I saw these patchwork stockings by mandinka over on Etsy, I knew they’d be perfect.  As I call them.. not too “ho ho ho”.

I did an order of books from Blurb and they arrived last week as well.  I totally recommend this  service – they can pull photos right from your Flickr stream and the prebuilt layouts are classy and clean.

I’m hosting a little birthday party this weekend – which means there’ll likely be updates to my foodblog.  I’m going to try a couple of new recipes… including baking a cake.
